Review of New Honda CG 150 in Pakistan

CG 150

Atlas Honda has refreshed its lineup with the launch of the all-new Honda CG 150, marking a major update after years of minimal changes limited mostly to cosmetic stickers.

Positioned as the 150cc segment’s cost-effective choice, much like the CG 125 in its class, the new CG 150 blends classic motorcycle styling with subtle modern upgrades. 

Pricing & Variants 

The Honda CG 150 is offered in three attractive color options: 

Red – Rs. 449,900 (ex-factory) 

Black – Rs. 459,900 (ex-factory) 

Matt Green Two-Tone – Rs. 459,900 (ex-factory) 

Design – Nostalgia with a Twist 

Drawing inspiration from the legendary CG 125, the CG 150’s design is a nod to Honda’s heritage. A round LED headlamp, chrome fenders, and a flat seat maintain its retro appeal, while alloy wheels and digital-analog meters add a contemporary edge.

The matte green variant with golden badging is particularly eye-catching, appealing to riders who appreciate style alongside utility. 

The exposed frame and engine deliver a raw, mechanical look, giving the motorcycle an authentic old-school vibe. 

Engine & Performance 

Powering the CG 150 is a 149.2cc 4-stroke SOHC air-cooled engine producing 11.9 PS at 7,500 rpm and 12.5 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm.

The engine is paired with a 5-speed constant mesh transmission and offers both electric and kick-start options. The compression ratio of 9.1:1 ensures a balance between performance and fuel efficiency.
